Here’s a wonderful vintage photo of folks working at Grimsby Neckwear Company. The story of the Grimsby Neckwear Company is in the new Dorothy Turcotte book More Gleanings From Grimsby! For about 10 years, starting in 1923 the Grimsby Neckwear Company was a successful business located on the second floor of 6 Main Street West (northwest corner of Ontario and Main Street). The workroom turned out 300 dozen ties a week - the ties sold for $1 each and were sold all across Canada! You can purchase your copy of More Gleanings From Grimsby on our website -www.grimsbyhistoricalsociety.com - with two options of delivery - mailed right to your door or curbside pickup at the Archives. Share with your friends and family so we can let everyone know about this book of local history! #grimsbyhistoricalsociety.
